If you want to make your own Thanksgiving turkey, here’s how I did it.

I used a cardboard tube as the body.

Using a black pen, I drew on the eyes and beak.

I then used a red pen to draw on the turkey’s wattle.

Next, I got a piece of A4 lined paper (but any kind of paper works).

I folded it over like so.

Then I folded it back over the other way.

I continued to do this over the whole sheet of paper.

I then used a red pen to colour the top half of the paper. I just used lines to give a bit of a feather effect, instead of colouring the whole thing in as a block.

I then diagonally cut the paper so that most of the non-coloured in parts were cut of, like shown.

I then folded the paper closer together ad glued it that way.

I then cut off the extra paper at the bottom.

I then glued this part to the back of the tube.
